A member asked:

I heard lavender epsom salt isn't safe at 6 weeks is this true? i've had a couple baths in it before i heard this and now i'm worried.

Below: There are no double blind studies done to insure the safety. I always tell my patients, during a PG done not do anything, take anything, inhale anything that is questionable In your case, a couple of baths should be fine, but I would advise against continuing the practice .

Worried that Ive been taking too many magnesium supplements. Daily intake 400-800 mg a day. Epsom salt baths on top of it. Heart rate is in bradycardia range. Any correlation? Or would I have other symptoms of magnesium overdose first.
